This study evaluated horticultural characteristics and development of improved cultivars with valueded traits for capsicum breeding selection. A total of 223 accessions belonging to six Capsicum spp. viz; Capsicum annuum, Capsicum baccatum, Capsicum frutescens, Capsicum chinense, Capsicum annum var. glabriuscum, and Capsicum chacoense were used in this study. Plant genetic resource unit of USDA/ARS, Griffin Georgia, provided the accessions. Before anthesis, the flowers on selected female parents were emasculated to enable crossertilization with pollen from selected male parents. This study showed that wide crossing incompatibilities could limit successful crosses between species. In 2004, seven progeny lines and twentyive parent lines were evaluated at Alcorn State University for horticultural characteristics and development of improved cultivars with valueded traits. The F1 progeny had early maturity, higher yields, and appeared to be adapted to Mississippi environment. Results indicated that C. annum yields were higher than yield of other species. Yield of Capsicum chinense was the second highest. Based on horticultural evaluation of seven progeny lines and twenty five-parent lines, three F2 genotypes, C. annum (Ca15xCa8), Ca88 and C. baccatum (Cb24xCb7) were selected for detailed cultural evaluations in field trials in 2005. The genotypes were grown under three cultural practice regimes as follows: 1) Date of planting with three planting dates. 2) Plant spacing trial comprising of three spacing configurations, and 3) mulching with four mulch treatments. Fruit yield was similar in all three genotypes at first and second dates of planting, but declined considerably at the third planting date for the two progenies. Planting Chile pepper in April or May in Mississippi, could be optimum for maximum yield. The genotype Ca15xCa8 had consistently high yield and may be adapted to Mississippi, followed by Ca88. Yield of all genotypes increased with increasing spacing from medium (90 m2 x .30 m2) to wider (1.20 m2 x.45 m2). At narrow spacing, plant yield was generally lower, but yield per unit area was higher, whereas, at wider spacing, yield per plant was higher but yield per unit area was lower. Regardless of genotypes, yield was highest with plastic mulch. Among genotypes, progeny Ca15xCa8 gave consistently higher yields in all mulch treatments followed by Ca88 genotype.

Visando estabelecer pontos de contato entre leitura, teatro e educação, a presente pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar práticas de leitura envolvidas nos processos criativos de grupos de teatro, especificamente a Cia. Paidéia de Teatro (Cia. Jovem Paidéia) e a Cia. Antropofágica (PY). Essas duas companhias integram o atual teatro de grupo paulistano e foram contempladas pelo Programa Municipal de Fomento ao Teatro para a cidade de São Paulo ao longo de algumas edições. Na primeira etapa da pesquisa, foram realizadas observações e entrevistas junto aos grupos teatrais em questão (pesquisa de campo). Ainda nessa etapa foi feito um levantamento no Acervo do Fomento ao Teatro da Secretaria Municipal de Cultura de São Paulo. A leitura dos projetos dos demais grupos de teatro contemplados pela lei forneceu maior compreensão das ações culturais decorrentes do programa, bem como do panorama teatral delineado por essa política pública. A busca pelo entendimento do funcionamento do programa e dos grupos fomentados, aliada aos estudos sobre leitura nos grupos de teatro (in locu), forneceu subsídios que sustentam uma de nossas hipóteses de pesquisa: a configuração de práticas culturais dentre elas, a relacionada à leitura advinda do Programa de Fomento ao Teatro. A partir da coleta de dados e do referencial teórico adotado, a figura do líder surge como fundamental na condução das práticas coletivas de leitura, cuja mediação, segundo a análise, fundamenta-se em formação literária, cultural e política ampla por parte dos diretores teatrais. Elementos como o improviso, o trabalho com o corpo, com a escuta, e a formação pela ação e pela experiência, entre outros aspectos, também trazem implicações às práticas de leitura. Por fim, nosso estudo está centrado na ideia de que as práticas teatrais de leitura desenvolvidas por grupo que mantêm, como integrantes em seus núcleos de formação, jovens em faixa etária escolar possam iluminar as práticas escolares de leitura. / To establish points of contact between reading, theater and education, this research aims to investigate practices of reading involved in the creative processes of theater groups, specifically Cia Paidéia Theatre (Young Co.

What is considered anomalous among the Late Bronze/Iron I Age Canaanite tomb plans rests on the understanding of the foreign and the local elements of interments of that period. When Diane Bolger, in her discussion of ancient Cypriot mortuary practices, noted the shift in the scholarly literature from the emphasis on the identity and status of the dead to an examination of the ways in which rituals of death and burial reveal the motives and identities of the living (Bolger 2003), her observation highlighted the importance of burial as a process rather than an event. <p>The phenomenon of burials in loculi chamber tombs during the transitional period of the end of the Late Bronze and beginning of the Early Iron Age is explored, building on the foundations established by Rivka Gonens work on Late Bronze burial behaviour in Canaan (Gonen 1992).

The public is regularly shocked by revelations of new business scandals. Nearly every sector of society is tainted by incidents of unethical behaviour. In this regard, the South African financial services industry has attracted a lot of attention, as some of the biggest scandals in recent years have occurred in this industry. With the world economy still experiencing the effects of the global recession, the last thing that institutions in the financial arena must do is engage in unethical behaviour. Immoral behaviour could damage a company's repution and lead to further financial losses. The purpose of this study was thus two-fold: firstly, to investigae the factors that influence unethical decision-making and behaviour in the local life insurance sector, and secondly to evaluate how business ethics are institutionalised at a sample of life insurance companies.

O presente trabalho é um estudo das relações entre as formas do controle social e os ilegalismos populares através de uma pesquisa etnográfica desenvolvida em um bairro da periferia de São Paulo. De um lado a tentativa é perspectivar alguns lugares de incidência do controle social, suas redes econômicas e políticas, a partir de três postos de observação: uma pequena birosca, o transporte clandestino e um ponto de venda de drogas; de outro lado procurou-se estudar as condutas que se constroem nestes pontos de inscrição dos mercados urbanos informais, ilegais e ilícitos e sua correlativa exposição ao perigo da morte. Neste cruzamento entre a incidência da mecânica do poder, as tramas dos ilegalismos populares e suas condutas correspondentes talvez seja possível compreender algumas das dinâmicas deste mundo social que se produz entre o informal, ilegal e ilícito, também a vida e a morte. / This dissertation consists of a study of the relations between the types of social control and the mass ilegalisms by means of an ethnographic research study conducted in a neighborhood located on the favelas of São Paulo. On one hand, this attempt aims at finding some locations that suffer the incidence of this social control, their economical and political networks, based on three observation points: a small birosca (a small store, generally in a slum, where food and alcoholic drinks are sold), illegal transport and crack houses; on the other hand, it also aims at studying the conducts built in these points of insertion of the informal, illegal and illicit urban markets and their correlated exposure to the risk of death. In this crossroads between the incidence of the mechanics of power, the plots of the mass ilegalisms and their corresponding conducts, it may be impossible to understand some of the dynamics of this social world, which takes place between informal, illegal and illicit issues, as well as between life and death.

Na busca de respostas a essa questão, formulo os seguintes objetivos: Compreender a trajetória formativa e o constituir-se professor destas professoras, buscando analisar a especificidade ou não de saberes próprios de ser professor das séries iniciais, da 4ª Série especialmente; identificar a origem e a natureza dos saberes adquirido-construídos por esses professores pesquisados e identificar a implicação (ou não) desses saberes/dessa formação nas práticas docentes dessas educadoras. As interlocutoras desta pesquisa são três professoras que atuam na quarta série, em escola pública estadual, todas com mais de 20 anos de experiência docente. Optei por ouvir as professoras da 4ª Série do Ensino Fundamental, por considerar importante este momento de passagem para a segunda etapa do Ensino Fundamental, de 5ª a 8ª Série onde os professores apresentam características diferenciadas em relação às outras séries. A pesquisa está centrada numa abordagem qualitativa e buscou compreender a trajetória formativa dos docentes pesquisados. Os autores que constituem a fundamentação teórica e com os quais dialoguei, juntamente com as narrativas dos sujeitos da pesquisa, foram: Paulo Freire, Terezinha Azerêdo Rios, Selma Garrido Pimenta, Maurice Tardif, Antonio Nóvoa, Ecléa Bosi, Magda Soares, Nilda Paiva Alves, Mario Sérgio Cortella, Carlos Rodrigues Brandão, Maria Cecília de Souza Minayo, Mario Osório Marques, Carlos Marcelo Garcia, Pedrinho Guareschi, José Alberto Correia e Serge Moscovici. Foi possível perceber que a aprendizagem da docência não é um processo homogêneo, na medida em que, cada professor desenvolve certa maneira de ser e pensar a profissão docente, tendo como referência o processo de apropriação frente às experiências vivenciadas nos diferentes contextos formativos com os quais teve contato. O exercício da docência nas séries iniciais e, de forma especial, nas 4ª séries, exige do professor habilidades e saberes ligados especialmente ao ensino integrado, aos vínculos afetivos e a sensibilidade para auxiliar o aluno na passagem entre a unidocência e multidocência; a continuidade do processo de alfabetização e de instrumentalização, para que o aluno lide com o universo do mundo escrito, precisa ser associado a hábitos de organização, com um forte estímulo a autonomia. Estes saberes destacados pelas interlocutoras são construídos essencialmente em sua prática docente, embora reconheçam sua formação acadêmica como essencial. A compreensão sobre o fazer e pensar docente implica na análise dos fatores e eventos que neles influenciam, evidenciando a relevância de estudos acerca das trajetórias formativas, na medida em que, possibilitam uma aproximação com os desejos, angústias, sentimentos e valores, saberes e fazeres que são constituintes do agir/pensar/sentir docente, que foram/são construídos/reconstruídos nos diferentes tempos/espaços formativos. / The current study aims to answer essentially the following questions, "How do performing teachers of 4th grades of Basic School putting themselves together as teachers?" And "What the involvement of that on their teaching practice?" On the searching of answers from those questions, you make the following aims, understanding the graduating course and be a teacher of those teachers, inquiring to analyse the specificiment or noto f proper knowledges of being a teacher from First Classes orespecially of Four_Grade; identifying the origem and the nature of knowledges acquired-built by those researched teachers and to identify the involvement (or not) those lnowledges/that formation of the teaching practices of those educators. The interlocutors of that research are (three) teachers that perform in the Four_Grade on State School, all of them with more than twenty years of tesching experience. One decided for listening teachers from Fourth Grades of basic School for considering this moment important on passing to the second stage from fifth to eighth grade of Basic School, where teachers have showm different qualities in respect to the other classes. The research is centralized in a qualitative approach and hás investigated to understand the graduating course of the researching teachers. It was possible to realize that reading of teaching its not a homogeneous proceeding, as each teacher develop a certainly way of being thinking the teaching profession, having as reference the proceeding of appropriation before being experiences different instructive contexts. Practice of teaching in the First grades and essentially in the Fourth Grades, demand of the skills and knwoledges link particulary to Integral Education with affective chains and the sensibility to helping the pupil through the change between the uniteaching and multiteaching; the continuity of the proceeding of the teaching of reading and instrumentaliation in order to the pupil deal with the universe of the worlds written, He needs to get into the habito f organization, with a strong encouragement to autonomy. These Knwoledges emphasized by the the interlocutors are built essentialy in their teaching practices, although they admit their academic backgroud as essential. The umderstanding about doing and teaching think involve to analyse factors, and events and their influences, evidencing the importance of studuing about formative courses as they make possible an approach with wishes, and anguishes, and feelings and worths, and knowledges and doings that are membres of the act/think feels teeaching, that were/are built/rebuilt in different formative times/spaces.

Devido a diferentes razões, a população de diversos países do mundo, inclusive do Brasil, tem presenciado a ocorrência de sinistros relacionados a desabamentos de edificações, falhas localizadas ou problemas com subsistemas da edificação, que resultam em perturbações no uso e em riscos à saúde ou segurança dos usuários. No Brasil, foco especial vem sendo dado a partir da Norma de Desempenho e da percepção de que esquemas adequados de gestão da conservação de edifícios são fundamentais para proporcionar maior sustentabilidade ambiental e econômica às construções. Sabendo disso, vários estados e cidades brasileiras começaram a elaborar leis de inspeção, visando a obrigatoriedade da Inspeção Predial. Esta iniciativa se espelha em experiências internacionais, que veem a inspeção como uma atividade incorporada à rotina de conservação e manutenção das edificações. Destarte, a presente tese tem por objetivo fazer uma contribuição teórica para a construção de um sistema de inspeção brasileiro, através da identificação de boas práticas e da investigação dos padrões de deterioração recorrentes nos laudos de inspeção das cidades de Porto Alegre e Capão da Canoa. A metodologia de pesquisa consistiu em uma etapa qualitativa, que investigou e analisou documentação do contexto internacional e brasileiro, visando identificar boas práticas relativas ao escopo das leis de inspeção, perfil do inspetor, periodicidade e estrutura dos laudos - e uma etapa quantitativa, caracterizada pela análise de mais de 600 laudos obtidos junto às prefeituras das cidades alvo deste estudo. A capital gaúcha foi a primeira cidade brasileira a instituir uma lei sobre conservação de elementos de fachadas (Lei nº 6323/88), tais como marquises e outros elementos em balanço e em 2014 aprovou o Decreto nº 18.574, visando a inspeção de toda a edificação Capão da Canoa possui lei sobre o tema desde 2009, após o acidente com o Edifício Santa Fé. A realização do estudo identificou que em relação ao escopo, as leis buscam zelar pela segurança das edificações; quanto ao perfil do inspetor, vê-se uma boa prática na Austrália que possui classes de inspetores e locais aptos a certificarem os profissionais; quanto à periodicidade, basicamente a idade é o condicionante (quanto mais antigo o edifício, menor o prazo para a realização da inspeção). Quanto aos padrões de deterioração verificou-se que em Sistemas de Vedações Verticais Internas e Externas (SVVIE), é recorrente a umidade por infiltração que atinge 50% da amostra de Capão da Canoa e 27% das edificações vistoriadas em Porto Alegre. É recorrente também a presença de fissuras e deterioração na pintura. No subsistema revestimentos, os padrões referem-se à perda de aderência, principalmente na amostra de Porto Alegre, onde 36% das edificações registraram esta anomalia que impacta os requisitos de durabilidade, manutenabilidade, segurança no uso e operação. Na análise do subsistema Estrutura, a maior ocorrência foi corrosão das armaduras, relatada em 52% das edificações da cidade de Capão da Canoa. Em Porto Alegre é recorrente o registro de fissuras que impactam a estanqueidade e durabilidade da edificação. De forma geral se evidenciou que os laudos de inspeção são fontes importantes para análises relacionadas à vida útil e durabilidade das edificações. / Due to different reasons, the population of several countries in the world, including Brazil, have seen a number of accidents related to building collapses, localized faults of some of its structural components or other problems with building subsystems, which result in significant disturbances and in risks to users health and safety. In Brazil, special focus has been given on the Performance Standards and the perception that management appropriate schemes of building conservation are fundamental to provide greater environmental and economic buildings sustainability. With this in mind, several Brazilian states and cities have begun to elaborate inspection laws, aiming at the compulsory of Buildings Inspection. This initiative is reflected in international experiences, which see inspection as an activity incorporated into the routine of conservation and buildings maintenance. The purpose of this thesis is to make a theoretical contribution to the construction of a Brazilian inspection system through the identification of good practices and investigating recurrent deterioration patterns in the inspection reports of the cities of Porto Alegre and Capão da Canoa. The research methodology consisted of a qualitative step, which investigated and analyzed documentation of the international and Brazilian context, aiming to identify good practices related to the scope of inspection laws, inspector profile, periodicity and report structure - and a quantitative step characterized by the Analysis of more than 600 reports obtained from city halls of the target cities of this study The capital of Rio Grande do Sul was the first Brazilian city, to have a legislation on conservation of front elements (Law no. 6323/88), such as marquees and other elements in balance and in 2014 approved the Decree No. 18,574, aiming at the inspection of the entire building. Capão da Canoa has had a law on the subject since 2009 after the accident with the Santa Fe Building. The study identified that in relation to the scope, the laws seek to ensure the safety of buildings; As for the inspector's profile, we can see a good practice in Australia that has classes of inspectors and places able to certify the professionals; As to periodicity, basically age is the conditioning (the older the building, the shorter the time frame for the inspection). Regarding the deterioration patterns, it was verified that in Internal and External Vertical Wall Systems, the infiltration humidity reaches 50% of the sample of Capão da Canoa and 27% of the buildings surveyed in Porto Alegre. It is also recurrent the presence of cracks and painting deterioration. In the subsystem of coatings, the standards refers to loss of adhesion, especially in the sample of Porto Alegre, where 36% of the buildings registered this anomaly that impacts the requirements of durability, maintenance, safety in use and operation. In the analysis of the subsystem structure, the highest occurrence was corrosion of the reinforcement, reported in 52% of the buildings of the city of Capão da Canoa. In Porto Alegre it is recurrent the registration of fissures that impact the watertightness and durability of the building. In general, it was evidenced that the inspection reports are important sources for analyzes related to the useful life and durability of the buildings.
